Making Bromine - A Deadly Red Liquid Element

Im just starting the video and when he said he needs bromine for another project and not for play.... I knew it. He's gonna take on... _The Cube_.

[@christopherleubner6633]

The alumium plus bromine reaction makes anhydrous aluminum bromide which is extremely useful for organic chemistry as well. You can also use it to make lithium aluminum hydride from lithium hydride in THF. ❤️

[@ftbtd]

It gave me a chill when he had that mixture of bromine and sulfuric in the seperatory funnel and shook it. Very nice video.

[@alllove1754]

This was a decent bromine video. Thank you for the explanation as to what contaminants can end up doing other methods. I can only imagine the clean up after this experiment. I do hope to see the experiment you use the bromine in! ❤

bromine dissolved in chloroform works great in reactions. make sure to shield it from light though, as it may be able to react with the solvent rather than the reactant otherwise.

[@chemicalmaster3267]

@Amateur Chemistry I saw that you wanted to know the overall reaction. Well, like you said, the potassium permanganate forms permanganic acid when reacting with sulfuric acid (since there was quite a good amount of water added to the boiling flask, no manganese heptoxide could be formed by the dehydration of permanganic acid) which oxidizes the bromide ions to elemental bromine and if you think carefully enough will see that some sulfuric acid is needed to form manganese sulfate and potassium sulfate or even potassium bisulfate if you added an excess of sulfuric acid. 10 KBr + 2 KMnO4 + 8 H2SO4 = 5 Br2 + 2 MnSO4 + 6 K2SO4 + 8 H2O

[@Amateur.Chemistry]

Thank you very much, I thought that manganese heptoxide is formed because the water present is still a very concentrated solution of sulfuric acid that might dehydrate the parmanganic acid but it turns out I was wrong

All hail the cube, hype As this question fits the deadly type of compound you dealt with here: How strong is the fan in your fumehood / how many m³/h can it push through and how big is the opening of your fume hood?

[@Moritz___]

same interest here

[@Amateur.Chemistry]

My fumehood fan can push around 250m³/h of air through, and my fumehood opening is 160 cm wide, and its height can be adjusted by a winch so that when I am working with dangerous stuffs I make the opening small to get more vapors out

14:41 I must’ve been living under a rock (or under a deserted stone bridge in some forgotten hinterland) because I want/need to know more about the glass ampule. I’ve seen people use those sealed glass ampules to store compounds numerous times. However, I never understood how those ampules were made. I thought about it, but for some reason missed using the lowly test tube to make the storage vessel. I had assumed the ampules were make from sections of glass tubing (which, I suppose, is also doable). Excellent video! Bromine frightens me. I can’t wait to never try this bromine production method myself. 😂

[@ghoust592]

test tubes are just much cheaper that's why they're used. You could use anything that's made of glass as glass melts and becomes a red glowing goop

I know its a lot of bromine but in retrospective do you think that 4.7 molar equivalents could make enough cubane to be even visable with all the purifycations and probably fails?

I reacted potassium bromide with nitric acid in a report and distilled it into a vessel in ice. The byproduct was potassium nitrate. Passing chlorine into KBr was inefficient. I did it outdoors.

I'm curious about your clean up process. Seems like a lot of hazardous stuff you need to clean up. How do you do that?

[@williambradley611]

As a catalyst are you gonna use barium carbonate or barium hydroxide for making cyclopentanone from adipic acid

[@Amateur.Chemistry]

I used barium hydroxide octahydrate

[@spiritofage8235]

If there's a lot of water, it shouldn't go to manganese heptoxide at all, permanganic acid is already an oxidizer itself, it is get reduced either to Mn2+ (manganese sulfate in this case) or Mn4+ (black insoluble manganese dioxide). You could use diluted h2so4, it works too, and don't overheat the solution while dissociating like concentrated. The reaction itself is exothermic and more heat == slower addition should be or more escaped water will be. More water in bromine == more conc. h2so4 to use to dry it. I used to collect bromine to the flask with decent amount of conc. h2so4, so that drops of bromine pass through it, dry to some extent and be unable to escape as a vapor.

[@drasiella]

Hmm, he's making bromine how swee-- OH MY GOD HE'S GONNA DO THE CUBE

[@experimental_chemistry]

No manganese heptoxide is formed as long there is still water in the mixture. It's just the permanganate that oxidizes the hydrogen bromide. The method is a big mess, not very environmental friendly because of the heavy metal compounds of manganese left behind. And it's a waste of hard to get and partially banned chemicals, too. Using fresh persulfate instead is perfectly legal and a much cleaner route with an even higher yield and cleaner product. The whole process also proceeds much quicker. As a neutralizing agent a freshly prepared solution of sodium sulfite and hydroxide should be used to avoid the mess with precipitated sulfur. It's advisible not to store more than 10 ml of bromine (dried and sealed in ampoules) at home to avoide horrifying accidents. And even small amounts shouldn't be stored in rooms where you live, sleep or eat. Bromine should only be used in a fumehood or outside wearng a gas mask additionally and thick chemical protection gloves because it eats through thin nitrile gloves and skin within seconds. Breathing in even small amounts of bromine vapor can already cause deadly pulmonary oedema. Definitely no substance for beginners...

[@highlandlab1924]

Could sodium or potassium bromide react with HCl and H2O2 to make elemental bromine?

[@absolute___zero]

if you want cheap bromine you can only get it from sea salt, there is 2 kg per ton, and a ton of sea salt costs 60 bucks. But you would have to get all the Na and Mg from it by electrodeposition first , for which you need some industrial equipment. Not very complicated if you know how to use CNC routers and have solar panels. Otherwise you would have to order from India and pay about 6 bucks per kilogram for KBr, 98% pure. But if you leave near sea - sea salt is free if you just leave salty water evaporating on open air. You might wonder, why someone would need that much bromine? Well, it is a main ingredient of zinc-bromide flow battery which is very efficient and 20 times more lasting than lithium

Love this video, as usual! I'm given to understand that you can safely store bromine under(!) concentrated sulfuric acid at ordinary freezer temperatures in containers you can actually open and close again without breaking glass and employing a blowtorch, respectively. @EdwardTriesToScience has more details on this at the end of kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGGrqqSqqNNqnKM
